Chapter 167 Movie Copyright! Hong Kong was a bit chaotic at that time!
The idea of online shopping actually reminded Tang Yichen of express delivery and logistics.
It’s a pity that this thing can only be thought about at the moment.
This is a bottomless pit, and the money invested in it has to be counted in billions.
Moreover, nowadays, most mobile phones are just big brothers, and the era of smart phones is still far away. Now that a logistics system has been established, it is really possible to deliver letters.
For delivery, VCDs are considered large items. If they are scattered in small places, how many times can they be delivered in a year?
Therefore, relying on the current postal service is the best way.
And this method is not easy to imitate.
There is no such business in the current mail delivery industry. Tang Xionghua opened it through a franchise. If anyone wants to learn from him later, you must first have the ability to deal with the post office.
People who really have this kind of power generally would not force their way into VCD even though they know it has been patented.
This can also be regarded as an indirect blockade of some people who want to imitate Wanhua's operations.
However, if you want to accomplish this, it will not be done in a day or two.
Tang Xionghua went out on the 13th and started working on this matter.
First, I found the relevant local leaders and told them about this matter. Then I went home and waited for two days. When I received another call, I went out to meet with the relevant leaders and the leaders of the Chuzhou Post Office and talked for a whole morning.
Finally, after convincing them and reaching a preliminary agreement, they reported the matter to their superiors.
Tang Xionghua continued to wait for news.
After all, if Tang Xionghua wants to do this, he needs the cooperation of the national postal company.
The leaders of Chuzhou City can only manage one province at most, how can they cover the entire country?
In order to implement this matter, it has to be reported to many levels.
So Tang Xionghua could only suppress his inner anxiety and wait.
Fortunately, Wanhua is not in a hurry now.
At Wanhua, the items ordered for the second batch of production lines have not yet been delivered.
However, because of this plan, Tang Xionghua discussed it with Jiang Wanmeng again.
Finally decided to increase the efforts again.
Five more production lines were added.
At the same time, Tang Xionghua also received a new task, which was to contact advertising production and record and film companies in Hong Kong.
The copyright of TV series is not currently within the scope of VCD consideration.
Because the TV series is too long, although genuine CD discs are cheaper than LD discs, the selling price will not be too cheap because copyright fees must be included.
A TV series, if burned on the first generation of VCD CDs, would require at least 40 to 50 discs for a 40-episode TV series.
The cost is too high.
The cost here does not refer to the production cost, but the price of the CD that the audience buys for a TV series.
Even if it's the cheapest, 31 or 50 tickets would cost 1,500 yuan. 1,500 yuan to watch a TV series, in this day and age, everyone would definitely feel that it's okay to sit in front of the TV and watch commercials every day.
Therefore, the main purpose of the advent of VCD is to listen to records and watch movies.
In fact, Jiang Wanmeng's original intention was to contact domestic audio and video publishing houses to purchase some domestic record copyrights.
But Tang Xionghua denied it.
If you're going to do it, do it well.
As for domestic publishing houses, we will let them find us later.
In this day and age, Hong Kong is definitely the best when it comes to songs and movies.
If we purchase some music and film copyrights directly from Hong Kong and then burn and distribute them, the market response will definitely be much better.
So, on the 18th, Tang Xionghua set off directly, taking Tang Yichen with him in a Mercedes-Benz, followed by a Xiali, and the father and son, along with four bodyguards, headed for Shenzhen.
He is not planning to go to Hong Kong.
Today, with his identity and what he was discussing this time, he didn't need to go to Hong Kong at all, he could just go to Shenzhen.
Ask Yanglai's staff in Hong Kong to find out the phone numbers of the other party's companies, and then make a call to arrange for them to come to Shenzhen.
Of course, Tang Xionghua can also go there.
But Tang Yichen asked Tang Xionghua not to go over there now.
People from mainland China are not very welcome in Hong Kong nowadays.
Moreover, Hong Kong today is full of mixed gangs and the underworld is no exaggeration.
Even Lao Li’s son could be kidnapped.
Not to mention that Tang Xionghua only had a few bodyguards with him in the past and it was difficult for him to get weapons in a short time.
If the news really leaks out, it will be a big problem whether I can return from Hong Kong.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, although Tang Yichen is actually very curious about Hong Kong in this era.
But Hong Kong is still there, so you can go and see it later in life.
Now, it is more important to accumulate strength.
In other words, expand your business in Hong Kong a little bit and establish yourself there before going there.
Currently in Hong Kong, only four foreign companies have opened stores, and the supply of raw materials is also transported from the mainland. There is still a long way to go before they can gain a firm foothold.
In other words, a place like Hong Kong cannot survive with just one branch of a Western restaurant chain.
"Director Tang, you actually want to look for him this time? He was our enemy back then!"
Shen Chengyang came to the headquarters. Ou Mulan hadn't seen Tang Xionghua for several months.
As for Tang Yichen, it took even longer.
So now Tang Yichen was held in someone's arms.
Tang Yichen was very happy about this. He just hugged the beautiful girl. Besides, the weather was cold now, so hugging her would make him warmer.
Across from me, in the office, sitting in the boss's chair that I hadn't sat in for several months.
Tang Xionghua was sitting there, and when he heard Ou Mulan's words, he smiled and replied, "What's the big deal? KFC is history in the mainland.
That commercial has been taken down, and now I’m looking for him to work with me simply because of his fame, just like KFC did back then.
After all, this is business and nothing else!
That’s right, Tang Xionghua is planning to look for Jet Li this time.
After all, the other party's popularity in the country is indeed terrifying.
Thanks to the broadcast of Shaolin Temple, he became well-known in the countryside.
In this case, asking him to advertise is undoubtedly the best option.
"That's right!" Ou Mulan nodded with a smile.
But then, Ou Mulan spoke again: "But Mr. Tang, if you just said that you still want all of Jet Li's film copyrights, it might be difficult to handle, especially since we invited Jet Li to be our spokesperson!
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Jet Li's situation is actually quite complicated. Mr. Tang, you may not have paid much attention to it. This year, since our company Yanglai entered the Hong Kong market, I also have some understanding of Hong Kong.
Tang Xionghua listened quietly, and Tang Yichen did not say anything. Tang Yichen actually didn't know much about Hong Kong affairs at that time.
Ou Mulan pursed her red lips and said, "Jet Li actually has three bosses so far, and the copyrights of his films are also owned by those three companies.
Now it is easy to deal with this family and the previous one, but the first one is not very friendly with Jet Li now.
According to Hong Kong newspapers, the boss of Jet Li's previous company was even killed by the company before that.
"Oh, by the way, the boss of Jet Li's previous company was shot to death by two people last April!"
These words left Tang Xionghua and his son speechless.
After thinking for a while, Tang Xionghua said: "Then don't worry about our business, they can solve their own business, we are just cooperating.
Do business and make money.
We have no problems with them, so just contact them and come over, we'll talk later!"
Although the other party sounds quite scary, so what? This is Shenzhen, not Hong Kong.
Come here to discuss business. If we can make it, then we can talk. If not, then forget it.
Tang Xionghua just wanted to cast a wide net and catch more fish.
